This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
If you're experiencing issues with buttons on your homepage not redirecting to the correct language after a language change, and your site uses custom blocks from the Kubio plugin, the URL field of the block may not be registered for translation.
Solution:
First, try searching for the URL in the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE). If it's not available, you'll need to register the URL field for translation. You can do this by creating a custom XML configuration code. Here are the steps:
1. Edit the homepage with the default editor and switch to the Code editor to view the block structure.
2. Use the following XML code to register the button text and URL for translation:


<wpml-config>
  <gutenberg-blocks>
    <gutenberg-block type="kubio/button" translate="1">
      <xpath>/*</xpath>
      <key name="link">
        <key type="link" name="value"></key>
      </key>
    </gutenberg-block>
  </gutenberg-blocks>
</wpml-config>

3. Add this code to WPML > Settings > Custom XML Configuration.
4. Make a small change to the page content, save it, and update the translation. The button URL should now be adjusted automatically.
For more detailed guidance, please refer to our documentation:

Now we are having problems with the buttons on the home page, even after the person changes language, the buttons just below the first screen, where the names of the tours are, are redirected to the website in German.

Hi Roberto,

Thank you for contacting WPML support, I’m happy to help you with this issue.

I see the Tours section on the homepage is created by a custom block from the plugin Kubio on your site.

First thing, I suggest you search for the URL in the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE) and translate it. If it isn't available there, it is possible that the URL field of the block is not registered for translation.
Then you can follow the documentation below to create a custom XML configuration code to register the URL field in the block for translation and search for it in the ATE again.

Refer documentation

Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks

Honestly, I didn't understand almost anything, I'll send you an example of a kubio block, please tell me exactly how I should change it there.

hidden link">
<span class="position-relative wp-block-kubio-button__text style-JDZCnJp-vBR-text style-local-55-text kubio-inherit-typography">
CUMBUCO – JERICOACOARA
</span>

Should the code look like this?

<kubio-blocks>
<kubio-block type="core/some-block" translate="1">
<xpath type="link">//a/@href</xpath>
</kubio-block>
</kubio-blocks>

please tell me exactly how I should change it there.

Hi,

I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to take a better look at the issue. It would be better to have a testing site where the issue is replicated. Your next reply is set to private to share the info.

❌ IMPORTANT: Please backup your database and website before proceeding ❌
You can use this plugin to create the backup: https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
✙ I would need your permission to de-activate and re-activate Plugins and the Theme to change configurations on the site if needed. This is also a reason the backup is critical.

Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks

Hi,

If you edit the homepage with default editor and switch to Code editor, you can see the block structure:

<!-- wp:kubio/button {"kubio":{"styleRef":"JDZCnJp-vBR","props":{"buttonWidth":"fitToContent","iconPosition":"before","showIcon":false,"buttonSize":"medium","horizontalAlign":"center"},"style":{"descendants":{"link":{"background":{"color":"rgba(var(--kubio-color-5),1)"},"border":{"top":{"radius":{"right":{"value":6,"unit":"px"},"left":{"value":6,"unit":"px"}},"color":"rgba(var(--kubio-color-5),1)","style":"solid","width":{"value":"2","unit":"px"}},"bottom":{"radius":{"right":{"value":6,"unit":"px"},"left":{"value":6,"unit":"px"}},"color":"rgba(var(--kubio-color-5),1)","style":"solid","width":{"value":"2","unit":"px"}},"left":{"color":"rgba(var(--kubio-color-5),1)","style":"solid","width":{"value":"2","unit":"px"}},"right":{"color":"rgba(var(--kubio-color-5),1)","style":"solid","width":{"value":"2","unit":"px"}}},"textAlign":"center","typography":{"color":"#012462","family":"Urbanist","margin":{"top":"","bottom":"2rem"},"size":{"unit":"px","value":"12"},"weight":"600","lineHeight":{"value":"1","unit":""},"transform":"uppercase","letterSpacing":{"value":"1","unit":"px"}},"padding":{"top":{"unit":"px","value":"12"},"bottom":{"unit":"px","value":"12"},"left":{"unit":"px","value":"24"},"right":{"unit":"px","value":"24"}},"states":{"hover":{"background":{"color":"rgba(var(--kubio-color-5),1)"},"typography":{"color":"#4583f2"},"border":{"top":{"color":"rgba(var(--kubio-color-5),1)"},"left":{"color":"rgba(var(--kubio-color-5),1)"},"right":{"color":"rgba(var(--kubio-color-5),1)"},"bottom":{"color":"rgba(var(--kubio-color-5),1)"}}}}},"icon":{"size":{"unit":"px","value":"12"},"margin":{"left":{"value":"0","unit":"px"},"right":{"value":"10","unit":"px"}}}}},"hash":"-RLIbqAGp"},"link":{"value":"<em><u>hidden link</u></em>","typeOpenLink":"sameWindow","noFollow":false,"lightboxMedia":""},"preserveSpace":{"text":false},"icon":{"name":"font-awesome/star"}} -->
CUMBUCO - JERICOACOARA
<!-- /wp:kubio/button -->

I register the button text and URL for translation with this XML code:

<wpml-config>
  <gutenberg-blocks>
    <gutenberg-block type="kubio/button" translate="1">
      <xpath>/*</xpath>
      <key name="link">
        <key type="link" name="value" />
      </key>
    </gutenberg-block>
  </gutenberg-blocks>
</wpml-config>

it is added to WPML > Settings > Custom XML Configuration. Then I make a small change to the page content > Save > Update the translation and you can see the button URL is adjusted automatically.

Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks

Hi,

It's the template part. You can go to WPML > Translation Management > Filter type "Template Part" > Translate the template "Front Header".

Refer documentation https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-content-created-using-gutenberg-editor/translating-sites-that-use-full-site-editing/

Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks

When I click on edit it gives the following message:

"The theme you are currently using is not compatible with the site editor."

If you see in the image above that you sent, the other 3 languages are pending update.

Where to manually update these 3 languages?
